“…In addition to our case report only a few cases have been reported for prostate cancer metastasising to the renal system 13 – 15. As kidneys are highly vascular organs, metastatic infiltration is most likely a result of arterial embolisation.…”

A 66-year-old Caucasian man with a background of prostate cancer presented with a progressive history of nausea, reduced appetite, shortness of breath and a distended abdomen. Radiological imaging revealed a left-sided renal mass and gross ascites suggestive of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Subsequent histological examination and immunostaining of renal mass biopsy revealed features characteristic of metastatic moderately differentiated to a focally poorly differentiated, large duct type of prostatic adenocarcinoma.

“…[3] In the literature, there is limited number of case reports on renal tumor metastasized from prostate.The first premortem case of renal metastasis was presented by Kutcher et al [4] in 1986, in which diagnosis was made by fine-needle aspiration biopsy. Subsequently, Denti et al [3] reported a renal mass lesion located at left side which was detected by radiological evaluation. Authors performed biopsy from the mass lesion and histopathological examination and immunostaining study revealed prostate adenocarcinoma.…”

The most common sites for prostate cancer metastasis include bone, distant lymph nodes, liver and lungs. Renal metastasis of prostate cancer is a rarely seen pattern of invasion. In the current study, we described an 83-year-old male with a history of prostate cancer. He was admitted because of edema, hyperemia, warm and pain at left leg and inguinal region. In the further evaluation, a mass lesion at prostate region and conglomerate lymphadenopathy at left iliac vascular trajectory and a mass lesion at left kidney with heterogeneous contrast-enhancement were observed on contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging and computerized tomography scan. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy was performed in the lesion with radiologically suspect renal cell carcinoma. By evaluating histopathological features and immunohistochemical staining of the tumor, we decided that the lesion was metastasis from prostate cancer.Keywords: Prostate cancer; renal metastasis; survival. ÖZProstat kanseri en sık kemik, uzak lenf düğümleri, karaciğer ve akciğere metastaz yapmaktadır. Prostat kanserinin renal metastazı oldukça nadir görülen bir yayılım şeklidir. Biz bu çalışmada, 83 yaşında prostat kanseri öyküsü olan bir vakayı sunduk. Hasta sol bacak ve kasık bölgesinde ödem, hiperemi, sıcaklık artışı ve ağrı nedeniyle başvurdu. Kontrastlı manyetik rezonans görüntüleme ve bilgisayarlı tomografi taramasında prostat lojunda kitle lezyonu ve sol iliyak vasküler bölgede konglomere lenfadenopati yanısıra, sol böbrekte heterojen kontrastlanan kitle lezyonu izlendi. Görüntüleme ile renal hücreli karsinom şüphesi olan lezyondan ince iğne aspirasyon biyopsisi yapıldı. Histopatolojik özellikler ve immunohistokimyasal boyamalar sonucunda tümörün prostat kanseri metastazı olduğuna karar verildi.Anahtar Kelimeler: Prostat kanser; renal metastaz; sağkalım.Cite this article as: Kurtul N, Resim S, Koçarslan S.

“…[5] To the best of our knowledge from literature searches, this is the second case of renal metastasis from prostatic adenocarcinoma diagnosed ante-mortem by percutaneous fine needle aspiration. Though, unusual sites of prostatic metastases are widely documented in literature from postmortem findings, Gunlusoy et al [1] and Denti et al [6] respectively reported postmortem findings of bilateral and unilateral renal metastases from prostate carcinoma which was initially misdiagnosed as renal cell carcinoma.…”

Renal metastasis from prostate adenocarcinoma: A potential diagnostic pitfall

Renal metastasis from prostatic origin is an uncommon event. Advanced prostate cancer locally invades the seminal vesicles, bladder and regional lymph nodes. Other metastatic sites are the lung, bone and other visceral organs. We present a 55-year old, Hausa man from Northern Nigeria who was managed as a case of infected renal cyst which later turned out to be a metastatic prostatic adenocarcinoma with a rare pattern of widespread bony metastases.Renal metastasis from prostate adenocarcinoma is a rare occurrence, however, high level of suspicion is needed in order to avoid potential diagnostic pitfall.

Renal Metastasis from Prostatic Adenocarcinoma: A Potential Diagnostic Pitfall

Abstract: We report a case of renal metastases from prostate cancer to show that the possibility of tumor metastasis, although rare, should always be considered in the differential diagnosis of renal mass.
